Who do you reckon it's gonna be?, been following the political band waggon for a while and it's quite funny the way in which they canvas for votes.

Apparently McCain has no trouble choosing who he's going to be for Halloween unlike Obama's kids, cos McCain goes as George Dubbya every year..

ouch!!! they know how to pack a punch...

I do not care if he/she was white..black..yellow..pink.. in fact any colour, the only thing they must do is make the right decisions, after all if America does it today, the world follows tomorrow.

I know it is a dream but if only all peoples could live in harmony, accept others beliefs and be caring to those who are disadvantaged...what a world it would be.

Agree Morleyite.

Mac I heard that too It beggars belief it really does..

Mac i think you have it right mate

it would be a massive step forward for the world if he wins

I think it will be Barak Obama, Catherine,

Caz xx

yes totally Morleyite, some states are still extremely racist.

I hope it is Barak but I will fear for his life.

Obama, I hope.

Did anyone hear Arnie Shwatz's (not even gonna attempt that name) comments about Obama, saying he has skinny little arms and needs to be shown how to do some moves to beef him up and put some meat on him-

Can you imagine Gordon Brown saying that about David Cameron we'd be like WHAT? lol

Doesn't matter who the Americans choose as their next leader, they all seem to be as stupid as the previous one. eh Clinton, Bush Jnr, Bush Snr, Regan etc should I go on?

Just caught up with this thread.

Some people obviously watch Fox news whose claim to be fair and balanced is a pile of cr*p.

I won't point to individual newsmen but they are obviously biased and they make their views plain by what they choose to broadcast.

Just interested Cristine where the Muslim brothers come into this discussion. Methinks you have been paying too much attention to the McCain spin. This is one of the great scare tactics used by the opposition to try and discredit him.

It's telling when the McCain advisors choose to drag remarks like this into the politcal arena, it smacks of desperation.

I hope Obama wins and wins convincingly. The thought of Sarah Palin as VP sends fear through my soul. McCain drops dead or is hospitalised and she becomes Commander in Chief god help the world.

Especially if she feels she or a member of her family has been slighted by any Military Commander, they are going to find their butt well and truly kicked. This will be regardless of their competancy to run their particular theatre of operation.

Here here sue, not added as not very good with words but you sumed it up lovely... :) xx

if i had to choose, it would be Obama... good luck to him.

off to bed now, nite xx

Thanks Kaz,

I made an effort tonight...lol

I sure would like to know which states are racists, because I certainly wouldn't like to think that I lived in one of them.

I'm not sure how anyone can pretend to be black - make up perhaps?

Obama's parentage isn't exactly a secret and neither are his credentials as a Christian, so I'm also a bit puzzled about reference to his Muslim brothers.

When I vote, I vote for the person and his or her politics. The religion and/or race of a candidate doesn't enter into my thinking, I would hope most intelligent Americans think the same way.

Gwynne

not long to go now-wish I could say up all night but I can't
good luck whoever...

Obama would get my vote.

The US television stations are all running election coverage.
If the polls are to believed then Obama should get in.

We will find out in a few a hours when the polls close.

Can you imagine if Sarah Palin does end up as VP, and the real Sarkozy happens to phone?

"you don't get me with that "Du rouge a levres sur une cochonne" stuff again! I know the smell of a rat now"

And on a light note, replying to SueM's post, if she was ever commander in chief, we'd be having a round the world save-the-moose collection.

Interesting times...

Lol Sue

I'll keep watch for you Catherine. I'm sure that we will be watching it for the rest of the day.

Palin and McCain were still on the election trail as of midnight Nevada (and my time) last night.
